Your future

The Maastricht Science Programme offers you the opportunity to create your own curriculum. Your own profile can qualify you for a variety of master's programmes and later for a wide range of professional fields. You have the freedom to explore your interests and abilities and to specialise in the area that suits you best.

Master's programmes

The ability to create a unique academic profile will allow you to follow a wide variety of master’s programmes at Maastricht University and elsewhere. Your academic advisor will help you select courses for the profile you would like to build. This will help you to take the required courses to be eligible for admission into the master's programme of your choice.

Depending on the courses and skills trainings you take, you will be well-prepared for a master’s in physics, chemistry, biology or neuroscience. Or you can pursue a multidisciplinary master’s programme like systems biology or biobased materials.

Career prospects

The Maastricht Science Programme prepares you for a variety of career opportunities. You can become, for instance, a researcher at a university or scientific institute or a scientist at a multinational company or a hospital. You can even choose to start your own business in science or technology.

Multiple disciplines
The issues that science and society will face in areas such as sustainability, energy, biobased materials, biomedical innovations and nutrition will be so complex that, apart from their own specialisation, scientists will require insights from multiple disciplines to successfully meet these challenges.

Degree
Graduates of the Maastricht Science Programme are awarded with an internationally recognised Bachelor of Science degree with a tailored curriculum.

Alumni
